Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy is to make the material I am covering as relevant
to the student as possible. I provide interactive lectures, group
activities, and hands-on demonstrations to help involve the student
in the classroom. I try to learn each students name in order to create
an open and mutually respectful atmosphere where ideas and dialogue
can be exchanged. By creating this type of setting, I believe that
the classroom milieu can be a place where students can safely challenge
their beliefs about psychology. Further, I use the textbook in conjunction
with "real world" experiences that the students bring to
class, thus further helping me gain a better understanding of psychology,
which in turn positively influences my effectiveness as an educator.
